Answer:
A. $86,956.52
B. 15%
C.$83,333.33
Explanation:
a) Calculation for how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio
First step is to calculate the required rate of return on the portfolio using this formula
The required rate of return on the portfolio= Risk Free Return+Risk Premium
Let plug in the formula
The required rate of return on the portfolio=5%+10%
The required rate of return on the portfolio=15%
Second step is to calculate the Expected value of the portfolio
Expected value of the portfolio= 0.5*50,000+0.5*150,000
Expected value of the portfolio =$100,000
Assuming x is the amount you will be willing to pay for the portfolio which means that:
x*(1+15%)=100,000 OR x= $86,956.52
Therefore You would be willing to pay $86,956.52 for the portfolio.
b) Calculation for What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be
Expected return on the portfolio= (100,000-86,956.52)/86,956.52
Expected return on the portfolio=15%
Therefore the Expected return on the portfolio will be 15%
c) Calculation for What is the price you will be willing to pay now
In a situation where the risk premium is 15%, which means that the required rate of return will be
Required rate of return=5%+15%
Required rate of return=20%
Therefore the price you will be willing to pay= 100,000/(1+20%)
Price=$83,333.33
In January, Gamma Company sold 2,000 units of its product at a price of $20 per unit. Its COGS (cost of goods sold) for January totaled $20,000, and its SG&A (selling, general and administrative) costs totaled $16,000. If Gamma Company is expecting to sell 2,200 units in February, how much is the expected profit for February? (assume that the sales price will not change, and that 2,200 units is in the relevant range
Answer:
The expected profit for February is $6,000
Explanation:
It is assumed that the COGS is the variable cost and SG&A is the fixed cost.
First we need to determine the sale value of February
Sales = Selling Price x Number of Units sold = $20 per unit x 2,200 = $44,000
Now Calculate the COGS
COGS = Numbers of units sold x COGS per unit = 2,200 units x $20,000 / 2,000 = $22,000
As the SG&A is assumed to be a fixed cost, so it will remains the same.
Now calculate the Expected Profit for February
Profit = Sales - COGS - SG&A = $44,000 - $22,000 - $16,000 = $6,000
A firm plans to begin production of a new small appliance. The manager must decide whether to purchase the motors for the appliance from a vendor at $11 each or to produce them in-house. Either of two processes could be used for in-house production; Process A would have an annual fixed cost of $200,000 and a variable cost of $7 per unit, and Process B would have an annual fixed cost of $180,000 and a variable cost of $8 per unit. Determine the range of annual volume for which each of the alternatives would be best.
Answer:
If the firm is going to need less than 50,000 motors, they should purchase them from the outside vendor.
If the firm is going to use between 50,000 to 59,999 motors, it should use process A.
If the firm expects to use 60,000 or more motors per year, it should use process B.
Explanation:
Process A:
contribution margin per unit = $11 - $7 = $4
break even number of units = $200,000 / $4 = 50,000 units
Process B:
contribution margin per unit = $11 - $8 = $3
break even number of units = $180,000 / $3 = 60,000 units
QUESTION 1 Buchanan Corp. forecasts the following payoffs from a project: Outcome Probability of Outcome Assumptions $ 1,100 25 % pessimistic 2,300 55 % moderately successful 5,800 20 % optimistic What is the expected value of the outcomes?
Answer:
$2,700
Explanation:
Calculation for the expected value of the outcomes
Using this formula
Expected value=respective outcome*Respective probability
Let plug in the formula
Expected value=(0.25*1100)+(0.55*2300)+(0.20*5800)
Expected value=$275+$1,265+$1,160
Expected value=$2,700
Therefore the expected value of the outcomes will be $2,700

A firm in a perfectly competitive market has an average total cost of $40 for the 100th good it sells. Its fixed costs are $100. The average total cost of the 101th good is $41. If the market price is $50 this firm should g
Answer:
b. Sell only 100 goods because the marginal cost of the 101th exceeds marginal revenue
Explanation:
Options "Sell 101 goods because it adds to profit. Sell only 100 goods because the marginal cost of the 101th exceeds marginal revenue. Sell 101 goods because its fixed costs are so low. Sell 101 because price is greater than average total costs."
When it produces 100 units, total cost = average cost * units = $40 * 100 = $4,000.
When it produces 101 units, total cost = average cost * units = $41 * 101 = $4,141
So, the marginal cost of the 101st unit = $4,141 - $4,000 = $141. However, since the price is $50, the marginal revenue is $50.
So, the marginal cost of the 101st unit is higher than the marginal revenue.
If the marginal rate of technical substitution for a cost minimizing firm is -10, and the wage rate for labor is $5, what is the rental rate for capital in dollars
Answer:
$ -0.5
Explanation:
From the information given:
The marginal rate of technical submission MRTS = -10
Wages W = $5
The marginal rate of technical submission MRTS = Wages/ Rental rate of capital
∴
Rental rate of capital = Wages/marginal rate of technical submission MRTS
Rental rate of capital = 5/-10
Rental rate of capital = $ -0.5
is considering permanently shiutting down a department that has an annual contribution margin of $25,000 and $75,000 in annual fixed costs. Of the fixed costs, $19,500 cannot be avoided. What would the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for corp. if the company shuts down the department
Answer:
Avoidable fixed costs = $75,000 - $19,500 = $55,500
Segment margin = Contribution margin - Avoidable fixed costs
Segment margin = $25,000 - $55,500
Segment margin = -$30,500

On January 1, 2021, Poole Inc. purchased a bottle filler at a cost of $40,000. The equipment is expected to last eight years and have a residual value of $4,000. During its eight-year life, the equipment is expected to produce 250,000 units of product. In 2021 and 2022, 42,000 and 76,000 units, respectively, were produced. Required: Compute depreciation for 2021 and 2022 and the book value of the bottle filler at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, assuming the double-declining-balance method is used.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $40,000
Salvage value= $4,000
Useful life= 8 years
To calculate the depreciation per year using the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2021:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(40,000 - 4,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $9,000
Book value= 40,000 - 9,000= $31,000
2022:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(36,000 - 9,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $6,750
Book vale= 31,000 - 6,750= $24,250
During December, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods a total of 79,000 units of product. At the end of December, 14,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 65% complete with respect to materials. The beginning inventory included materials cost of $58,800 and the production department incurred direct materials cost of $186,900 during December. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
$2.81
Explanation
Completed and transferred (79,000 * 100%) 79,000
Ending Work in Process
Direct materials (14,000*60%) 8,400
Equivalent units 87,400
Costs of beginning inventory $58,800
Costs incurred this period $186,900
Total costs $245,700
Cost per equivalent unit = Total costs / Equivalent units
Cost per equivalent unit = $245,700 / 87,400
Cost per equivalent unit = 2.811212814645309
Cost per equivalent unit = $2.81
Fran is considering permanently closing down her beauty salon. A consultant advises her that if she stays open for business, she will have operating revenues of $300,000 and operating costs of $280,000. In addition, Fran has paid $40,000 for fixtures that can be resold for $15,000 after she closes the beauty salon. Explain whether Fran should close down the beauty salon.
Answer:
Operating revenue, R = $300000
Operating Cost, C = $280000
Fixed Cost, F = $40000
Salvage value of fixtures, S = $15000
If it remains open, its value will be = R - C - F + S = 300000 - 280000 - 40000 + 15000 = -$5,000
If the salon closes down, its value will be = S - F = 15000 - 40000 = -$25000 .
Fran should remain open as the value of the salon if remaining open (-$5,000) is more than the value of closing it (-$25,000).
John decides to take his annual Christmas bonus of $2,000 and invest it each year for the next five years, in stock he believes can earn an 8% annual return. How much will John's investment be worth at the end of the five years
Answer:
FV= $11,733.20
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit= $2,000
Number of periods= 5 years
Interest rate= 8% = 0.08
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,000*[(1.08^5) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $11,733.20
The competitive firm's supply curve is equal to A. the portion of its marginal cost curve that lies on and above AFC. B. its marginal cost curve. C. the portion of its marginal cost curve that lies on and above AC. D. the portion of its marginal cost curve that lies on and above AVC.
Answer:
a. the portion of its marginal cost curve that lies above the AVC
Explanation:
In short run, a perfectly competitive produces as long as its price is above its AVC, so revenues can cover total variable cost. If price is below AVC, the firm has to shut down. Since such a firm maximizes profit by equating Price with MC, this condition means that firm's supply curve is its MC curve lying above the (minimum point of) AVC curve.
Alden Trucking Company is replacing part of its fleet of trucks by purchasing them under a note agreement with Kenworthy on January 1, 2016. Alden financed $39,169,279, and the note agreement will require $10.07 million in annual payments starting on December 31, 2016 and continuing for a total of four more years (final payment December 31, 2020). Kenworthy will charge Alden Trucking Company the market interest rate of 9% compounded annually. After the first payment was made, the note payable liability on December 31, 2016 is closest to:___________
A) $29,099,279.
B) $34,134,279.
C) $40,280,000.
D) $32,624,514.
Answer:
D) $32,624,514.
Explanation:
Installments (A) = $10,070,000
Principal due (B) = $39,169,279
Interest Payment (C) =B x 9% = $39,169,279*9%
Interest Payment (C) = $3,525,235
Principal Payment (D) = A - C
Principal Payment (D) = $10,070,000 - $3,525,235
Principal Payment (D) = $6,544,765
Total Due (E) = B - D
Total Due (E) = $39,169,279 - $6,544,765
Total Due (E) = $32,624,514
So, after the first payment was made, the note payable liability on December 31, 2016 is closest to $32,624,514

A company issues $50,000 of 4% bonds, due in 5 years, with interest payable semiannually. Assuming a market rate of 3%, the bonds issue for $52,306. Calculate interest expense as of the first semiannual interest payment.
Answer:
interest payment would be $1,046.12
Explanation:
We calculate the Interest expense for the first semiannual interest payment by constructing the Bond amortization schedule.
To construct this amortization schedule we will collect the data as follows :
PV = - $52,306
PMT = ($52,306 × 4%) ÷ 2 = $1,046.12
P/yr = 2
N = 5 × 2 = 10
YTM = 3%
FV = $52,306
Using a Financial Calculator to input the values as above, the schedule can be constructed as
BOND AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE
Period Principle Interest Payment Balance
Start $52,306
1st $261.53 $784.59 $1,046.12 $52,044
Conclusion
Thus, interest payment would be $1,046.12

Grab Manufacturing Co. purchased a 10-ton draw press at a cost of $172,000 with terms of 2/15, n/45. Payment was made within the discount period. Shipping costs were $4,600, which included $220 for insurance in transit. Installation costs totaled $11,100, which included $4,900 for taking out a section of a wall and rebuilding it because the press was too large for the doorway. The capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is:
Answer:
$184,260
Explanation:
Total cost of draw press is $172,000 and if it paid 15 days, there will be a discount of 2% and it is paid within the discount period
The discount is = $172,000 * 2/100 = $3,440
Total amount that would be capitalized is:
= ($172,000 - $3,440) + $4,600 + $11,100
= $168,560 + $4,600 + $11,100
= $184,260
So, the capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is $184,260
Note:
- The shipping costs and installation cost will be capitalized
- The cost of insurance in transit and cost incurred to remove a section of a wall will be capitalized as well as they are included in the cost above already
Gunk Co. reported an asset retirement obligation on its 2019 financial statements. The present value of the liability for the asset retirement obligation at the end of 2019 was $393. The company's discount rate is 8%. What is the amount of accretion expense Gunk will record in 2020 related to the asset retirement obligation
Answer:
$31.44

The following data have been recorded for recently completed Job 450 on its job cost sheet. Direct materials cost was $2,050. A total of 39 direct labor-hours and 261 machine-hours were worked on the job. The direct labor wage rate is $20 per labor-hour. The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $22 per machine-hour. The total cost for the job on its job cost sheet would be:
Answer:
Total cost= $8,572
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct labor and allocated overhead:
Direct labor cost= 39*20= $780
Allocated overhead= 22*261= $5,742
Now, we can determine the total cost:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
